    LOL, the coil is not the same all the way down. Part for giving a softer ride and the rest firmer. The softer bit will compress first the the firmer part will start to do its job. Its a compromise over ride and performance. Full on rock hard ones would shatter your spine.

    They look good mate, car looks much better, glad you got it sorted, ROC is only a name, hopefully you are happy with them and the ride!
